The Woman Who Awakens Herself
The Woman Who Awakens Herself is an artist book that traces the deeply personal and transformative journey of Samineh Amel Sayyah. Moving across painting, installation, sculpture, embroidery, photography, and text, the book reveals how art becomes a space for rebuilding identity, confronting memory, and reclaiming voice.
Through reimagined myths, fragmented bodies, and intimate material gestures, Samineh explores themes of womanhood, resilience, migration, and awakening. Her works do not offer fixed narratives but invite reflection—where the self is constantly dissolving and reforming. More than a documentation of artworks, this publication is a lived archive of transformation, revealing how creation itself becomes an act of survival and self-recognition.
Samineh Amel Sayyah is a multidisciplinary artist whose work transforms personal history, mythology, and memory into visual narratives of resilience and awakening. The Woman Who Awakens Herself is her story of rebuilding through art.
